ISBN10: 0520072022, ISBN13: 9780520072022, [publisher: University Press Group Ltd Nov 1990] Softcover Neuware - In the most original and ambitious synthesis yet undertaken in Melanesian scholarship, Marilyn Strathern argues that gender relations have been a particular casualty of unexamined assumptions held by Western anthropologists and feminist scholars alike. The book treats with equal seriousness--and with equal good humor--the insights of Western social science, feminist politics, and ethnographic reporting, in order to rethink the representation of Melanesian social and cultural life. This makes 'The Gender of the Gift' one of the most sustained critiques of cross-cultural comparison that anthropology has seen, and one of its most spirited vindications.
